This code produces:

Deprecated: Non-static method Duck::foo() should not be called
statically, assuming $this from incompatible context

which informs you about the fact that what you're doing is wrong. This
capability is kept for BC reasons. There was a discussion about dropping
this from PHP 7 but it wasn't yet decided to remove the support. In any
case, this has little to do with static and non-static functions having
different namespaces.
